John McCain's Navy Flight Instructor Weighs In
International Politics
[This is a DumpMcCain.com/SiaNews.com EXCLUSIVE]
May 19, 2008
Greetings!
I was John McCain's Navy Flight Instructor --- in formation tactics and air-to-air-gunnery. I could write a book about this man. Suffice to state, I shudder (and I'm fearless) at the nightmare thought of this man becoming our next President and Commander in Chief. I am not alone as to this man's former shipmates, instructors and senior officers --- as to who and what this man is really all about. Although politics is really theater and the best performing actor gets to stay on the main stage --- sorta like American Idol only much more dangerous to all living things --- the performance and the make-over (re-invention) of this man is currently matched only by that of former LTC Oliver North, USMC (Ret.). Together on the same ticket, these two clowns would be real crowd pleasers in this sorry day and age of liars, banal dummies and limp-headed performers.
Thanx for having the guts to put the real deal information on the site re: John Sidney McCain III --- since the mainstream media is much too lazy to put the real story on McCain out there for the rest of their lazy consumers.
Best regards,
CDR Jerry K. Loeb, USN (Ret.) Palm Desert, CA

Glad you’re staying on topic. These things drift so easily.
I agree with the other millions of Republicans and conservatives that this guy was foisted upon us, and that the Republican party is literally in a condition of Treason to its rank and file members for anointing him as our representative.
McCain is no such thing. The people know it, and I think the Republican party leadership knows it too, but they just don’t give a damn about what matters to us ordinary Americans. It’s simply some sort of corporate power game to them. They couldn’t care less whether this man’s policies align with the needs, wants, and the will of most Republican voters.
I think my grand daddy was the first person I ever heard utter the phrase, “throw the bums out”, but now’s the time, if there ever was one.
I can’t help thinking of how the original colonists must have felt at the moment in which they had finally had enough, and were more willing to stand up against the world’s greatest superpower to tell them so, than to suffer another day under its tyranny.
Personally, I’d like to see a national movement to fire the majority of our so-called Republican representatives in congress. Fire the leadership of the party while we’re at it too, just to make sure we root out all the rot.
The level of angst and anger on our side has been growing for years. I see it daily on this board and others, and read it in the articles posted here.
We Americans who still understand the basic concepts of Americanism have been growing more restless over the worsening conditions of our country by the year. Eventually something’s got to give. We’ll either reach a boiling point where we finally stand shoulder to shoulder against the treason, or we will allow the greatest nation in all the world’s history to pass into legend.
We don’t need to just throw out the bums. We need th dynamite the machinery that let’s them accomplish such feats of treason without consequence. I encourage you and others to start considering ways to remove republican party politics from the hands of the “apparatchiks” who make sure every old warhorse gets his chance regardless of the consequences for the electorate. The internet is the perfect way to democratize such an institution.
Not just any moonbat site, either. The link posted shows the connection between the Forrestal fire and the Great Jewish Conspiracy. Really jumping the shark there.
It's pretty much accepted in the Navy that the Zuni was cooked off by the exhaust from the airstart unit being placed too close to the tail pipe of the rocket.
Back in those days there would be a pile of these tractors with start units running around the flight deck starting up the aircraft.
Dead-on accurate, and absolutely inarguable!
The internet is clearly the comm link that can enable any manner of bloodless revolutions to be born, to blossom, then to bear results.
Problem is, there is no one, central rallying point or place on the net in which to do this. Just look at the incredible number of blogs, forums and other websites that exist to promote conservative ideals. It’s a dispersed effort, not organized or connected, for the most part. That in itself lessens their overall power and impact.
Any number of popular websites (including FR) could serve as the launch pad of a concerted and organized assault against the corruption of Washington. It would take a lot of agreement to get such a movement started, then untold numbers of man-hours and dedicated labor to spread the word and attract overwhelming support.
I suppose that a true grass roots effort of this kind could succeed, but I don’t know that I’ve seen any such thing born of sheer citizen activism to date.
Most large, nation-wide movements that become powerful enough to effect real change at the national level usually require lots of cash to run, and corporate style organizing to properly execute and maintain momentum. They also require media attention and widespread advertising to continue their growth cycle.
I don’t know how many regular posters there are on FR, but it would probably take every single one of them, e-blasting their entire address books to jump start such a movement. As I said, the first thing required is a whole lot of agreement.
One thing is certain. We conservatives are going to have to come to grips with the fact that if we don’t do something radical, and soon, we’re going to become an irrelevant fringe of what was once called the ‘right’.
Who knows — perhaps conditions will get so bad that some spark finally ignites the smoldering embers of our angst into an inferno. Perhaps we’ll have another Boston Tea Party and Thomas Paine will show up.
Hunter endorsed Huckabee. Huckabee endorsed McCain. So why can’t you?
I didn't leave the GOP, the GOP left me. It's become Democrat Party light. I'll not follow. As for McCain, I was never on board.
Yes, and they're American citizens who go on to find jobs, pay their share of taxes, and contribute to American society without creating a multi-cultural hodgepodge.
They don't sneak across the border illegally, inflate our costs for crime prevention and medical care, and send the money they're paid back to their home country instead of contributing to American society. Big difference.
What's your La Raza name?
Dude--the subject was McCain. Try to stay on topic, huh?
Excellent and compelling closing argument. Great post that sums up the GOP nominee.
Great post.
Hunter endorsed Huckabee. Huckabee endorsed McCain.
Lots of reasons I cannot...one is that Hunter has not endorsed McCain ...I may change my mind if he does.
Dude, this IS about McCain.
Its like chosing between a wolf and a lion. I’d rather deal with the wolf.
Get it?
“I didn’t leave the GOP, the GOP left me. It’s become Democrat Party light. I’ll not follow. As for McCain, I was never on board.”
Can’t argue with you on that. I totally agree.
But either McCain or Obama is going to be sitting in Washington and pathetic as these alternatives are, they are all we have right now. Given the enormity of the issues with Obama, it seems like a no-brainer to me.
AFTER the election, I am more than willing to support a third political party - the RINOs have taken over the RNC.
That's like the rancher who bought a rogue horse. The horse kept breaking its lead, wandering from the ranch. The rancher spent hours and days chasing his horse down. The horse even broke out from the barn on numerous occasions. When asked why the rancher didn't secure his barn better, he replied "the horse will just break out anyway".
Finally, the horse took off and couldn't be found. Some rustlers likely picked him up and rebranded him. The rancher bought another horse and wrote off his initial investment. He also secured his barn.
You're like the rancher, wanting to secure the barn after the horse escapes. The time to search for a viable conservative candidate is now; not after the GOP elects (quite questionable IMO) someone who's essentially a Democrat (rebranded). But, you do what you want to. I'll do what I have to.
“But, you do what you want to. I’ll do what I have to. “
Guess so.
Just a question: Have you noticed that McCain’s website, under [Get Involved] does not list Free Republic in its drop-down list of Conservative blogs? Well, yes, FR is not a blog per se; it’s a forum. But even then, it’s a far more open method of engaging conservatives than a blog is.
Ever wonder why FR isn’t listed? I have. We’ve been around far longer than many of the blogs mentioned. We likely have a far greater number of members.
You see, John McCain is trying to enlist “other” to do his ‘reaching out’ for him. This way, he doesn’t have to do it. Sure, he had the same method for liberal blogs, but wouldn’t you think that he’d be more personally proactive in reaching out to the base of “his” party? I would. That is...if he really cared.
So, a second question is “Since he obviously doesn’t care, why should you? Why should we?” Oops, I guess that’s two questions.

I thought we just agreed to disagree?
“So, a second question is “Since he obviously doesn’t care, why should you? Why should we?” Oops, I guess that’s two questions.”
O.K. I’ll take the bait. If we don’t pull the lever for the McManiac, how do we keep Barack HUSSEIN and his clique of elitist anti-Americans and Muzzies from taking over Washington?
